Orlando Mosque Tied to Case Hillary's State Department Scrubbed

WND

State Department and DHS had 'concerns' about targeting Muslims

﻿

When Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik massacred 14 people
in San Bernardino, California, last December, newly retired Department of
Homeland Security agent Philip Haney discovered that a case he developed might
have prevented the attack if it had not been shut down by his agency and
Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

Now, Haney tells WND that the mosque where Orlando killer
Omar Mir Siddique Mateen worshiped several times a week also has a tie to that
case.

Haney noted that the FBI twice had Mateen on its radar, but
closed down the investigations both times.

Mateen opened fire early Sunday morning at a “gay”
nightclub in Orlando, killing at least 50 people and wounding another 53 in
what is being described as the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

As a member of one of the National Targeting Center’s
advanced units, Haney helped develop a case in 2011 on a worldwide Islamic
movement known as Tablighi Jamaat, as he recounts in his new book“See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland
Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.” Within a few
months, the case drew the “concern” of the State Department and the DHS’s Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties Office because the Obama administration believed it
unfairly singled out Muslims. The intelligence, however, had been used to
connect members of the movement to several terrorist organizations and
financing at the highest levels, including for Hamas and al-Qaida.

In the immediate aftermath of the Orlando massacre, Haney
has found that the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, Florida, is part of a network
in the United States that originated in the Indian subcontinent.

The Fort Pierce mosque’s website features a link that demonstrates
its relationship to the Shariah Board of America, a division of the
Rahmat-e-Alam Foundation, which operates the Darul Uloom Chicago madrassa.

The madrassa is closely affiliated with the Institute of
Islamic Education, which was a major component of Haney’s Tablighi Jamaat case.

Along with the State Department’s and Department of
Homeland Security’s quashing of the case in June 2012, the administration
subsequently ordered the deletion of an additional 67 records related to a
report on the Institute of Islamic Education.

Haney explained that this kind of information comprises
the “dots” that counter-terrorism analysts connect to form cases that are used
to identify potential terrorist threats.

“This case struck
me as very similar to the San Bernardino shooting case,” Haney told WND on
Sunday. “I suspected that they were both part of a national and international
network of organizations.”

He said that using open-source information, beginning with
the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, he discovered Sunday afternoon that his
initial suspicions were correct.

“It’s exactly how
I would have approached a case if I was still active duty,” he said.

“The FBI had opened cases twice on him, and yet they found
no evidence to charge him,” Haney pointed out.

“It means they didn’t go through the same basic,
analytical process that I went through over a three- or four-hour period in
which I was able to link the mosque to my previous cases.”

The Orlando Sentinel reported the FBI interviewed Mateen
three times for having alleged terrorist ties. He came to the FBI’s attention
in 2013 after he made inflammatory remarks to co-workers, but the investigation
was closed.

In 2014, he was interviewed again for making contact with
a suicide bomber.

Another member of the Fort Pierce mosque, 22-year-old
Moner Mohammad Abusalha, blew himself up in an attack in Syria in 2014 with an
explosives-laden truck.

Islamic law in America

Haney noted that the Shariah Board of America to which
the Fort Pierce mosque is linked is one of a number of Islamic groups that
issue fatwas, or decrees, instructing Muslims how to comply with Islamic law in
the United States.

The fatwas of the Shariah Board and similar groups often
address competing loyalties, such as whether American Muslims should join the
U.S. military or work for the U.S. government.

He urges Americans to confront the reality that Shariah
is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution.

He pointed out Article VI of the Constitution states the
Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

“As long as we mislead ourselves with a false narrative
about the threat we face, we’re never going to come to the place where we can
develop a counter-strategy to it,” he said.
